Four shootings involving Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputies have taken place in four months.

With the news of yet another deputy-involved shooting Monday night, which ended with the death of Armando Felipe after deputies said he killed his wife, even veteran law enforcement officers like local union President John Kazanjian are voicing concern.

"I mean, it just seems like every week or every other day, you know, there's an officer involved in a shooting," Kazanjian said.

"It's not that we're eager to shoot," Kazanjian said. "I just think we're put into the situation, whether it's a domestic or a traffic stop or just doing surveillance or whatever it is, I think we're put in those positions now more so than we were say back three, four (or) five years ago," Kazanjian said.

Those situations, Kazanjian said, are when people pull guns on or shoot at law enforcement.

"There's no rhyme or reason to these things," Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said. "Three in a row like this in a short period of time is unusual. That doesn’t mean another one couldn't happen tomorrow."

Kazanjian said shooting at a law enforcement officer was taboo a decade ago.

"Now it just seems like they're just shooting at cops just to get away, whether it's a traffic stop or whatever," Kazanjian said. "It's just crazy out there."

Kazanjian said it's "like a war zone" because cops are increasingly forced to shoot and sometimes kill.

"A lot of it's because of the economy," Kazanjian said. "A lot of people still aren't working. And you know what that creates: domestics and drinking and prescription drugs, so it leads to a whole litany of things, and that's what we have to deal with."

Kazanjian said Palm Beach County deputies are well-trained. The state requires 40 hours of training every four years, but the sheriff's office requires its deputies to complete that much training annually.

"That's what the citizens of Palm Beach County hire us for, to deal with that stuff," Kazanjian said. "And we deal with it. The part I don't like is being criticized by the public (as to) whether it's a good shoot or a bad shoot."
